These injections are most commonly administered on the forehead and around the eyes to soften ageing effects without having a surgical procedure. The injections temporarily block the signals from nerves to the underlying tiny muscles and prevent them from contracting. This leaves the overlying skin looking smooth and wrinkle-free while allowing the facial muscles to function as normal.
Other uses of anti-ageing injections is in the underarm to prevent sweating and on the upper lip to treat gummy smiles.
Dentists have thorough knowledge and understanding of the facial anatomy allowing them to safely provide this treatment.
